Smart Templates vs official iRacing PSD templates
Compare Sim Wrap Market Smart Templates with official iRacing PSD paint templates — when to use each for liveries and wraps.
Official iRacing templates
Official templates are the stock PSD files iRacing provides for each car. They are free, match the in-service paint layout, and are the baseline most painters and Trading Paints workflows expect.
Smart Templates
Smart Templates from Sim Wrap Market add Photoshop smart-object automation so graphics can align across panels faster. They are free on the Downloads page and also work in Photopea.
Which should you use?
Start with the official PSD when you want the stock iRacing file or maximum compatibility. Choose a Smart Template when you want faster panel-aligned design. Many painters use both — Smart Template for speed, official layout awareness for export — then finish with a catalog design or Pro Finish.
